"Why not?" Mrs. Zhang believed her and bought a jar. But no matter how she applied it after getting home,

Her figure remained as plump as ever. Just as she was wondering about this, her good friend returned from Italy.

Come, see her slimming gel, and tell her that this kind of product is not uncommon in Europe, it's just...

I don't even dare to watch TV, and I'm afraid to take diet pills for fear of side effects. So, what's the point of dreaming about losing weight?

Some people have thought of seeking the ancient Chinese acupressure techniques to achieve this.

The weight loss goal requires neither medication, nor exercise, nor suppression.

The pleasure of satisfying one's appetite is indeed delightful! Indeed, in our ancient Chinese medical techniques...

In traditional Chinese medicine, acupressure plays a significant role, from treatment to maintenance.

Health encompasses almost every discipline, and naturally, beauty and weight loss are no exception.

This is because our ancestors believed that blood and qi circulate throughout the body, forming a network.

Meridians are like railway tracks, and acupoints are like train stations. By treating the acupoints, one can restore health and cure diseases.

Generally speaking, subcutaneous fat mostly accumulates in the abdomen and waist.

Areas that experience less movement, such as the inner thighs, and especially the abdomen, are more prone to this problem.

Because the intestine has a very large surface area, and the mesenteric membrane surrounding the intestine also has a large surface area,

Excess fat is easily stored in the intestinal lining, leading to abdominal obesity.

Acupuncture for weight loss

Moxibustion for weight loss is considered a fairly easy weight loss method.

According to experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, needling the correct acupoints can indeed have a weight loss effect.

Unfortunately, once the injections stopped, the weight easily returned to normal.

Ultimately, the problem stems from a lack of proper dietary habits.

Currently, most acupuncture treatments involve ear acupuncture, targeting points such as the stomach and cardia.

Acupuncture is performed on the following acupoints: the esophagus point, the mouth point, and the hunger point. Among them, the hunger point is considered to be the most effective for weight loss.

The acupoint for hunger is located on the small bulge below the earlobe.
